来自路透社(Shellex一直认为这个名字很不错) 的报道,古巴,我们de社会的主义的兄弟,在这方面,貌似迈出了先进的一步。
According to Hector Rodriguez, dean of the School of Free Software at Cuba’s University of Information Sciences, about 20 percent of computers in Cuba, where computer sales to the public began only last year, are currently using Linux.
Nova is Cuba’s own configuration of Linux and bundles various applications of the operating system.
Rodriguez said several government ministries and the Cuban university system have made the switch to Linux but there has been resistance from government companies concerned about its compatibility with their specialized applications.
“I would like to think that in five years our country will have more than 50 percent migrated (to Linux),” he said.、
也不知道是不是真的。如果是的话可比我们强。但是Shellex很疑心一个连互联网都没法接入的国家如何发展他的Linux呢?
